For us the day began at 2am - that is My Lady was
up and watching the Football at Luzhniki Stadium -
a brave lass, th’ Froggies gave Argentina a 4 - 3 tip
to put Messi to bed; for me, it was a leisurely lie-in,
I had four games of Super Rugby to catch up on, if
& when I arose, given this is another grey Sunday -
altho’ it isn’t raining there’s no incentive t’ motivate
oneself beyond leisurely crossword puzzles abed
But evening has arrived with only th’ tot’s dirt-bike
songs down the hill t’ spur me into enthusiasm for
th’ coming School Holidays; but then I’m a retiree,
and I find watching th’ brushturkey’s antics just as
entertaining as TV proposes life can be; so, I’ll get
into gear, make dinner f’ my near-sleeping darling
